			An Ideascope</h1>
		<img src="../Picture/Ideo.png" alt="" class="img3" />
		<p>
			An Ideascope is two symmetric wooden bars connected by the edges with a slot between
			them, where the holder of levers are situated (image XVI). The holder of the lever
			is a four-angled part (image XVIB); its round upper part has an axis around which
			the leverage of steel wire with a paper numbered tag moves freely. The holder is
			supported by the surface of a homeoscopic table at the bottom.
		</p>
		<p>
			The leverages may lean on either the left or the right side of the ideoscope: those
			corresponding to the most important signs to us go to the left; less important-
			to the right.
		</p>
		<p>
			Then there is a lever separator which is placed after all the important parts are
			selected.
		</p>
		<p>
			A homescopic table, along which the ideascope moves, is a table with the names of
			essence in each column and numbers of signs in the lines of the table. There is
			a hole where a line (sign) and a column (essence) cross providing that there is
			a sign corresponding to some essence. The more important the sign is, the deeper
			the holes are.
		</p>
		<p>
			Initially all the down holders lean on the surface of the table and thus are seen
			above the hole and let the levers turn the tag down. If a certain essence in the
			table has the same sign as that selected on the ideascope, the lever holder will
			fall into a hole in the table whereas the lever itself will go up. If the hole is
			small, the lever will be in a horizontal position; if the sign is important and
			the hole is deep, the lever will practically be in a vertical position. The separator
			will not let the levers fall on the other side and therefore mix.
		</p>
		<h1>
			The visualization of the functioning of an ideascope</h1>
		<p>
			Set the number of signs by putting the levers of the homeoscope into an extreme
			left position. In order to do so, click with your mouse on a corresponding leverage.
			Then press “Compare”. The homeoscope will start to move along the table.
